Communicating With Those Who Cannot

Everyone has a desire to communicate
just because you don't understand them
doesn't mean they're not trying to tell you something
being able to be there, to work on being able to recieve the message
Just because someone doesn't sound smart
doesn't mean they don't have hundreds of things to say
Hellen Keller was living proof
so what did we learn when we dig up history?

Eventual that you will understand
of the different ways of communicating with those who can't

Repressed for life
until someone is taught how to translate
a desire to communicate will be present
being there ready to recieve an invitation for that communication
learning a new language of communicating with those who can't

Psychology of the autistic, and down syndrome
finding something they care about
would be a good place to start
understanding the psychology of patterns of behaviour
of those who are abused
and can't communicate that
